exported for adoption? do you honestly believe that its wrong to grow up better than what could have happened to you or even my niece and nephew. then why are children here adopted? and can be adopted from the united states isnt the same? thats the samething.

Int adoption made me lost my culture, my language, my family, my country, my dignity.

I honestly believe it would have been better for me (and for my natural family) to grow up in my birth country than being exported to a predominantly white are where I lived in isolation sometime hating my slant eyes, sometime beliving I was white myself.

I can't answer for your niece/nephew.

Nope, it's not the same thing.

i think this video is vile...how dare you... do you even know a little bit about korea...or what goes on there...your a twit... my niece and nephew were adopted and they are happy...why dont you learn something...

[myungsook777]

Yes, I know a little bit about Korea. I was born there and lived there. I have been exported to US for the purpose of adoption.

Good for you niece and nephew if they are happy.

I think you are vile too.

Harsh lives living in Korea... bad lives living in Korea...

White families are better than Koreans? Our culture is somehow better than Korea's?

My my, these comments sound like they're coming from racists, AP and PAP's, and other people who are just generally ignorant as far as how traumatic international adoptions can be.

I think you did a good job with this one. Because adoptees (especially international adoptees)have about as many rights in this country as a imported goods.

Kudos to you for speaking up and showing others how you feel. I'd love to see commercials made like this and have them run on tv stations every night. I'm so sick of the savior complex - as if adopting a baby is altruistic - it's not - it's a commercialized purchase to fill adult needs.

I'm Ethiopian and I'm against international and interracial adoption.Thank you for this video!

As a German orphan adopted by white American parents, I couldn't agree more with this video.

I see! Far right wingers found some other propaganda tricks!

Asian children need Asian parents. Black children need black parents. White children need white parents.

I registered my account just so I could comment on this video. Good for you for making it. My family is one of those white families who want to overcome our guilt complex caused by slavery, and adopt a non white child. Thank God we never went through with it. We do have a very misguided belief that we are rescuing children from a very horrible situation and placing them in a better environment. But children need to have parents who look like them, think like them, and understand them.

I would obviously have to find a mother with the same view, some mother just want a clean break. Which makes absolutely no sense to me. Cant cut your blood ties

[queeniebee237]

I wanted to ask... had you been legally adopted to have this "better life" but were allowed to see and interact with your real family maybe once a year during school holidays or whatever arrangement was suitable, would this have made a difference? I would like to adopt in future, and I don't agree with completely cutting the family link of that child. You may be the career but you will never be their mother or father, so you have to leave that relationship intact in my book.

I'm sorry you feel that way myungsook, i often wonder about that myself one day my niece and nephew will grow to hate me because i took them in and let them stay instead of saying it's wrong to let a 15 year old mother keep her own children. im so sorry. please forgive me. i had no idea babies grew up feeling this way. my niece and nephew are only 3 and 1. im sure someday i will have to come to that realization. but no matter what i will always love them. they mean the world to me.

what's with this daring business? of course I dare! I was adopted. I know a lot more about it than you do.

The OP was not relinquished. She was STOLEN. She has every right to be pissed that the adoption agency didn't care where they got their product from.

Just because you only know the bright side of adoption doesn't mean crimes aren't committed. They are more common than you know. But you're never going to look beyond your own nose.

How dare you ASSume everyone should be grateful.
